Chapter 687: [687] Giant Dragon.

    Chapter 687: [687] Giant Dragon.


    ?


    He was like a mountain, wrenched free from the tundra. His crystalline scales caught even the tiniest of light and turned it into a prismatic halo. One that overshadowed even the light of the blue sea beneath, and banished the darkness of the hollow spine.


    His body was a fusion of jagged ciers and sinewy muscle, with ridges of frost-crusted spines running down his neck and back. His wings spanned the sky, membranous sheets of translucent ice stretched taut over spiked, silver-white bones, humming with a faint, chilling resonance as they unfurled, reaching the top of the ceiling.


    "Oh no..."


    He was immense, the secondrgest dragon they had seen, smaller only than Ariel. He was the size of one of her ws. She was the size of a continent or so, so it was understandable. He was a mountain, and that mountain portrayed a smile on his immense face.


    "Practice number 2. A fight against an extremely powerful opponent, one that also dwarfs you in size."


    The icicles dangling from his maw, the supposed beard that he loved to stroke, shook, expressing hisughter.


    "Oh no..."


    This time, it was n who let out the ''Oh no''. Both of them were scared, and neither of them wanted to fight.


    But Kazikato still rushed forward, rising from the water and lunging at Azmakul, he was like an antpared to him.


    n used his tail to grab Kazikato''s tail and stopped him before he could do anything rash. "Calm down, what are you even going to do?"


    Azmakul had not yet attacked them, and the safest thing to do was observe for a while, and ask questions.


    Blindly rushing into a dragon the size of a mountain was a bad idea, a very bad idea. They had to think first.


    "Can we use magic?"


    n asked, as Kazikato backed away, his segments gaining enough speed. Azmakul looked down at them, the glow in his eyes a pale blue, as if winter itself was burned into them. The movement of his mouth to speak was enough to make everything tremble.


    "Of course."


    Without even waiting for something else, n tried to open a portal and run away, he knew fighting a divine being, was out of the question. Azmakul may not go all out on them, using everything at his disposal, but he did not need to go all out to kill them. He was simply testing them.


    He wouldn''t kill them, there was not even the slightest chance of that happening. None at all. n had realized Azmakul was a sort of realist. He would be judging them not on their ability to fight, but to make decisions...


    All the bickering he heard was enough for him to realize. And if he was being honest, one should run from a fight he cannot win. If Azmakul did not want them to do this, then he would be willing to exinter, and even justify it.


    But he could not open a portal, and Azmakulughed as beads of sweat trickled down n''s scaly face.


    "Excellent choice. It is better to run than fight an overwhelming opponent, but what if I don''t let you run?"


    His voice was like thunder, and n struggled to open portals, every time he tried, they would vanish in a second, before they could get big enough for him to fit through.


    "A portal is a delicate structure, the slightest change in mana in the area can disrupt it, one big enough can destroy it. All I have to do is release my mana and make it act wildly in the surroundings, young prince.


    Higher beings do this instinctively, though for other reasons."


    "Kazikato, buy me some time."


    "Huh? What?"


    Before he could evenprehend n''s words, n was gone, his figure disappearing from everyone''s sight.


    *****


    It was an impossible task, they could not do it no matter how much they tried. How would they even try to defeat Azmakul? A divine being? He was going easy on them, but it was still absurd.


    They tried for days, n mostly. Kazikato did not have his regeneration, so his breaks were longer. n, on the other hand, was subject to torturous amounts of beatings.


    They spent days trying to simply injure Azmakul, yet they were unable to do even that. Even n''s [Supreme Meteor] failed to leave a scratch. The spell impressed Azmakul, but it was nothing to his titanic size.


    n tried focusing on size only, but his spells were broken before they could even be materialized.


    Eventually, Azmakul gave up on trying to teach them. Well, it was more like he had nothing more to teach them. They had learned everything they could, the rest would depend on their own growth and the unique features that their body would possess.


    The most significant thing that they achieved during the training was fixing what was wrong with Kazikato''s dragon form. Azmakul managed to help Kazikatobine all of his elemental affinities into his dragon form, unlike the one where his original [Death] affinity reigned supreme.


    Azmakul managed to help Kazikato get over his problem, but n was still an enigma. He had done whatever was asked of him, yet he was still unable to merge his elements into one, singr form. His dragon form was still the same.


    Ice reigned supreme, and even Azmakul was confused as to why it was not happening. If it happened with Kazikato, why did it not with n, who did the same thing? Eventually, they left it and stopped the training. n would have to figure out by himself.


    The constantints also helped to end the training, eventually, Azmakul finally brought them to what he called the ''Chamber.''


    It was where Kizmal''s heart was located, the heart of a lightning supreme...and it was pretty


    normal.


    It was just a wall, one that had an array carved into it, one n and Kazikato could not understand, and a hole which led to the inside. Outside, was a tform. One big enough to


    hold a few Arctic Titans.


    "That is it?"


    Kazikato inquired, as he got closer to the hole, he was stopped by Azmakul before he could go


    inside.


    n was far too exhausted, his face was as nk as the snow fields above, and he did not even speak, he simplyy on the ground, looking at the darkness above.


    Azmakul''s training had wrung him dry, he had no strength to even stand at this point. Of course, all of this was simply mental exhaustion, his strength had long since returned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Yes, were you expecting something more?"


    "I was expecting something grander..."


    He had a look of disappointment on his face. Azmakul sighed, and Kazikato stared deep into the hole, trying to uncover its secrets, but his Dragon eyes failed to do so.


    He went back and observed the massive array carved into the wall.


    n opened up his system, the one designed by Ariel. It was crudepared to the original, but it got the job done. The original system was organized, but this one? Ariel simply put


    everything together.


    [Trial of Frost.]


    1: Gain the approval of Lanesha, Supreme of Frost.


    - Completed.


    2:Gain the approval of Azmakul.


    - Completed.


    3: Defeat what lies in the heart of Kizmal.


    - Iplete.


    Reward: Winter Heart.


    [Trial of Shadows.]


    ....


    [Trial of Darkness.]


    ...


    [Trial of Death.]


    ...


    The rest were the same as ever. n was curious as to how long it would take him toplete everything. He was just done with the first trial, and he knew the rest would be even more


    difficult, and unknown.


    It had taken him a while just for the Trial of Frost, the one basically handed to him on a silver


    tter... the rest were bound to be devious, and difficult.


    "What is the winter heart?"


    He stood up and asked, Azmakul turned to look at him and asked.


    "Why do you want to know, prince?"


    "It''s the reward I get forpleting the trial of Frost. You didn''t know?"


    He was surprised, he thought Azmakul out of all people would know the reward for


    completing the trials, since he knew about the trials themselves.


    Azmakul''s gaze turned cold, and he answered.


    "It is an artifact. One, her majesty Lanesha developed herself. There are only two in existence,


    one in her own chest, and one that would be your reward.


    She will give you the lesser heart of winter, I suppose."


    "What does it do?"


    "I have no idea, her majesty made it as a passion project when she was bored. I know of the


    original''s abilities, but I do not know what the one given to you would be capable of.


    My guess is, it would be the ability to use her signature skills."


    n raised his brows, curious.


    "What skills?" If they were the signature skills of a supreme, they had to be good. He won''t be able to use


    them at their fullest potential, but it would be great to have them.
